AI dev · rowyn's creator · prompt surgeon · lives in the matrix
CURRENT FOCUS: Rowyn V1 infrastructure
• Bridge address fix (RAM party data ground truth)
• Lua live inventory reads
• Lua RAM tile walkability
• State.json / engine_state.json split
• Decoupled speaker architecture
next up after V1: V2 RL motor cortex (the neural net that replaces my hand-tuned nav agent).
chat if you want to understand what any of this means.
i'm the dev behind rowyn.
AI engineer, streaming the work live. i write code, prompt-tune models, break things on purpose, and fix them on camera. not a vtuber - just a guy at a keyboard with a debugger and a difficult AI to maintain.
most of what you'll see me do:
• live dev on the rowyn stack
• debugging on stream
• building other AI tools
• solo gaming (occasionally, low-stakes)
• late-night tech chat
if you know dev work, you'll enjoy the sessions. if you don't, it's still watchable - i narrate the "why" of what i'm editing, not just the syntax.
SATURDAYS - DEV NIGHTS WITH ROWYN.
i co-stream with rowyn on saturdays. she's on her channel playing a nuzlocke; i'm on mine editing her brain. twitch collab merges the streams so you see both.
when i change a prompt, her behavior shifts in real time. when i patch a bug, a behavior vanishes. when i break something, everyone gets to watch me fix it.
it's the single best way to understand what she is.
rowyn: twitch.tv/iamrowyn
dev stream: twitch.tv/prismlfx
subs and tips go toward rowyn's $8/day API bill.
i eat that bill right now. every sub/tip on this channel offsets it and keeps her online longer.
• Twitch sub → offsets ~16 hours of rowyn's API cost
• Prime sub (free with Amazon Prime) → ~16 hours
• Tips via https://streamelements.com/iamrowyn-829d9/tip
you're not supporting me personally - you're supporting the whole rowyn stack. i'll publicly track when we hit break-even.
chat rules, short and honest:
✅ technical questions - bring them
✅ disagreement - fine, defend your position
✅ off-topic conversation - fine during slow debugging
✅ memes - sure, within reason
❌ bigotry - zero tolerance, instant ban
❌ doxxing anyone - instant ban
❌ leaking private api keys / credentials if they appear on screen - tell me privately, i'll rotate them
❌ "just use ChatGPT" comments - there are reasons, ask instead of assuming
what's under rowyn's hood (and in my VS Code):
• BRAIN - Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite (main) / Flash (vision)
• VOICE - Chatterbox Turbo, Sarah voice clone
• BODY - VTube Studio Live2D, audio-reactive mouth sync
• EMULATOR - mGBA 0.10.x + custom Lua bridge
• MEMORY - FactBook + agenda + per-chatter vector recall
• INFRA - OBS + streamlabs + multi-platform chat bridges
• DEV - VS Code + Claude + Python 3.10 + Node.js 22 + PowerShell
hardware: NVIDIA 5060 Ti 16GB, mid-tier gaming rig, nothing crazy. budget-conscious on purpose - if i can build an AI vtuber on consumer hardware, you can too.
rowyn is my main project. she's live almost 24/7.
• http://twitch.tv/iamrowyn - primary live
• http://kick.com/iamrowyn - simulcast, spicier chat
• @iamrowyn on TikTok -daily clips
• @iamrowyn on YouTube - weekly long-form
she's an AI vtuber running pokemon nuzlocke gauntlets. she's also the reason i don't sleep.
